Bhagwat’s Vijayadashami Address Explains Why Bharat Needs to be an Unapologetic Hindu Rashtra

News 18  

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the largest voluntary organisation in the world, was founded in 1925 on the auspicious day of Vijayadashami, a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of the good over the evil. The address of the RSS’ Sarsanghchalak on every Vijayadashami has been watched and followed with keen interest for several years now, especially since 2014 when an RSS Pracharak Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of Bharat leading his party to an emphatic victory and repeated the feat in an even more accomplished manner in 2019. The Sarsanghchalak’s address on Vijayadashami helps one understand the worldview of the RSS in contemporary context. Hindu Rashtra and the fundamental unity of Bharat One of the most significant things which Bhagwat spoke about was about Bharat being a Hindu Rashtra and why no one needs to be apologetic about it as it isn’t a parochial or a divisive concept or a communal idea that berates minorities. Therefore, without opposing anybody, the Sangh organises all who subscribe to this thought — i.e., organises the Hindu society for protecting the Hindu Dharma, Sanskriti, Samaj, and an all-round development of the Hindu Rashtra.
